• Antique Reads: Gentlemen Prefer Blondes

  Since my grandmother frequents flea markets, sometimes she’d buy me a book or something she’d thought interesting. Though it didn’t always align, one book I enjoyed was Gentlemen Prefer Blondes by Anita Loos. Now I haven’t seen the movie full-through, just the iconic Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend song so I can’t compare the…

• Covers era

  So it could be said that one can distinguish a book by its cover. Not that it can you tell the story inside, but one can usually distinguish the era. In the area of children’s fiction, ther covers tend to be phto-realistic, some have funky covers with psycedelic print or heart-shaped cuts. The 50s tend…

• Families in Graphic Novels

  Fun Home by Alison Bechdel Truthfully, I was going to look for the musical first but when I saw this in the library I figured I should see the source material, and wow. I didn’t have any idea what it was about other than it was an memoir of family dysfunction so it really threw…

• Book Highlight: Piglet

  This is not a review. As I mentioned in my Animal Books post, I automatically adore nonfiction books about animals and am completely biased so I adored this book. I literally cried (for the first time) because it was so adorable. I also cried because it was heartwarming and there was some animal death/abuse passages.…

• Hello, Psycho

  No one goes to intentionally befriend a psycopath. The problem is once you see past their charisma and friendliness and start piecing together the gaps in their stories, they may be onto you and will do anything to shut you up. At least that’s how it is for these protagonists. We Were Never Here by…

• Stephanie Plum Between the Numbers ReRead

  Okay, I didn’t get to Stephanie Plum six yet because someone else borrowed it in the library so I decided to go for the Between the Numbers novellas since they’re short and don’t really require knowledge of the other books that I don’t know.

• Fruit Basket Another Review

  Since I thoroughly enjoyed the original Fruit Basket series, I decided to take on the sequel. It’s a short series, only 12 chapters since it was supposed to be a limited run in celebration of the original series. As you may guess, it’s the next generation of Sohmas who are just the family that the…
